The Argentine Football Association announced the cancellation of the warm-up match. Why does the Argentine Football Association always have problems?

Argentina was originally scheduled to play against Israel in the warm-up match, but Argentina officially announced that the game would be canceled and the entire Argentine team would not fly to Israel. Currently, the entire Argentina team is still training in Barcelona. Due to Palestinian protests, Palestinian fans have gone to Argentina's training grounds and hotels to cause trouble and threaten Argentina not to participate in the game. Protesters dyed Argentina's shirts bright red and shouted at Argentine players as they raised them.

Considering Argentina’s personal safety, captain Mascherano and Argentina’s core players have always decided to refuse the game. Mascherano and Messi informed the Argentine Football Association and Argentina accepted their decision. Since Argentina has scheduled two warm-up matches before the World Cup, Argentina will have no warm-up match after canceling the match against Israel. Once there is no suitable warm-up opponent, Argentina will fly directly to Russia.

Argentine Football Association, the governing body of Argentine football, referred to as AFA. The Argentine Football Association was founded in 1893 and is one of the eight oldest football associations in the world. The organization is located in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, and is mainly responsible for all levels of Argentine professional leagues, the Argentine Cup, the Argentine Super Cup and the Argentine national team games. In addition, the Argentine Football Association will regularly organize amateur leagues, futsal competitions and some regional competitions for women, children and young people.

Under normal circumstances, the term of office of previous presidents of the Argentine Football Association is basically 1-3 years, with sometimes exceptions, such as 5-8 years. But can you imagine a person sitting on a Football Association chair for 35 years? Maybe somewhere else something like this would be quite surprising. However, in South America, this magical land has given birth to too many dictators with independent patents. Not surprisingly, there is yet another absolute dictator in charge of Argentine football, Grondona.
